+1. Input data is passed to :class:`~vllm.LLMEngine` (or :class:`~vllm.AsyncLLMEngine`).
+
+2. Tokenize the data if necessary.
+
+3. Process the inputs using :meth:`INPUT_REGISTRY.process_input <vllm.inputs.registry.InputRegistry.process_input>`.
+
+   - For example, add placeholder tokens to reserve KV cache for multi-modal embeddings.
+
+4. Send the processed inputs to :class:`~vllm.executor.executor_base.ExecutorBase`.
+
+5. Distribute the inputs via :class:`~vllm.worker.worker_base.WorkerBase` to :class:`~vllm.worker.model_runner_base.ModelRunnerBase`.
+
+6. If the data contains multi-modal data, convert it into keyword arguments using :meth:`MULTIMODAL_REGISTRY.map_input <vllm.multimodal.MultiModalRegistry.map_input>`.
+
+   - For example, convert a :class:`PIL.Image.Image` input to its pixel values for a vision language model.

+Input Processing
+================

+.. currentmodule:: vllm.inputs
+
+vLLM provides a mechanism for defining input processors for each model so that the inputs are processed
+in :class:`~vllm.LLMEngine` before they are passed to model executors. 
+
+Currently, this mechanism is only utilized in **multi-modal models** for preprocessing multi-modal input 
+data in addition to input prompt, but it can be extended to text-only language models when needed.
